Everyone greeted us as 'Green Freshiesv. This seemed embarassing at first, but we finally learned to ignore it. Our first accomplishment was the election of officers. We chose Kiss Helen Kelly as class advisor, Billy Prose, presi- dent, Earl Welch, vice-president, and Joyce Walker, secretary-treasurer. Our class was well represented on the basketball floor by Dick BPUIII, Dick Brittin, Jin Frobish, Earl Welch, Joe Harris, Billy Prose, and Bernard Todt. Horns Stahr was chosen freshman cheerleader. Ls sophomores we walked through the same doors that, at one tile, had frightened us. We again began our year by selecting these people to hold class offices: president, Dick Brown, vice-president, Jin Frobishg and secretary-treasurer, Cecilia Hiller. ltr. Henrick was our class advisor. me of our gayest times was had when we packed our lunch and drove to llanners Park in Taylorville for a skating party. Before skating we chose teams and played softball. A very good time was had 1110 It d'i.dn't take long for two years to hurry by. Ae juniors we had a big job on our hands. We chose Irs. Armstrong as our class advisor Ihose place was taken by lies Owens the second suester. Norma Stahr was our president, Dick Brittin, vice-president, and Verne llundhdnke secretary-treasurer. Dick Brown and Jin Frobish were on the basketball squad among the first five. We lost Dick Britten and Bill Prose to other schools. Helen Goebel and Gracie Lyerla were selected from our class as cheerleaders. We knew that as Juniors, hard tasks lay before us. We set out to turn them aside-finished. The llohawk, under the editorship of Helen Goebel, was very successful1 0'5 6E't'5ber 17, 19147 we presented our play Kathy, the Great. We also made the seniorsvery happy by the wonderful Prom which we gave in their honor. The day finally arrived! We are proud of our title, Usophisticated seniocrs. Miss Sleevar was chosen as our class advisor, llaureen Lucas, presidentg Clara Richter, vice-president, and Dick Brown, secretary- treasurer. We traveled to Springfield and had our pictures taken at Burchett's Studio. We had a swell time, but everyone was really worn out by the time it was over. We presented our senior play, 'Almost Eighteen , under the supervision of Hrs. Robinson. To make this annual a success, each and every senior worked hard. one of our biggest accomplishments was made through a magazine drive. The net profit was contributed to the publishing of this annual.

We meet once again in this Year of Our Lord, 1960, at the White House, Washington, D.C. The first woman to be pres- ident of the United States is a former member of our Class! Since we have all been invited to her inauguration, the class decided the occasion would also be fine for holding a class reunion. Most of the class were able to come and those that were unable to attend sent telegrams and cables so that we were able to have a report on everyone's activities since last we met, As we entered the portals of the great house, we were received by the new President....Qg9-1115 Miller. Remember how she made those straight A's. We were ill very proud on this occasion and we know that she has deserved this great honor. Much of the success of her campaign, we know, is due to 193153 Lhgtgr, Governor of Illinois for the past four years. His intelligent propoganda, endless campaigning tours, his pleasing ways with the women, C he even winks at babiesl made Ceciliafs success possible. Everyone will remember his famous slogan, Let's try skirtsl. ..23- Among the first to greet us all at the White House was our former class advisor, Miss Sleeyai. Imagine our surprise when we were told that she had quit her job at M. .H.S. and is now working in Washington, in the Labor Department, demanding a 15-hour week and a S10 mininu wage law. She is still thinking of all the hard work she had in teaching her stu- dents at M.C.H.S. After meeting us and learning of our accomplishments we feel that she no longer thinks that her efforts have been lost. Meeting Margaret Spencer, we hear that she has finally found her one and only. When she graduated from high school, she went to work in Flor- ida for Hr. Francis Haines as secretary of his Wealth Corporation, not realizing that she was soon to become Mrs. Haines. She has been very health , wealthy and wise,and has been blessed with the sweetest set of quadruplets-Judy, Joyce, Joe, and John. The sparkle is still in her eyes telling us that she has reached her goal. Betty Jean Stephens took time to visit with us although she is very busy in Congress working in behalf of the Farmers of Palmer along with her husband,Buzz Steele. Speaking for farmers in general, she has asked Congress to distribute to all farmers of America the new chemical that Buzz has just perfected for speeding up the growing time for soy beans. A modern Jack Q The Beanstalk story we thought. When Lgg Ann gghgggg came to the inauguration, she had no idea that she had come to stay. Cecilia, looking out for her friends, offered her a position as her secretary. Lou Ann accepted the position providing she could keep her favorite stallion, 'Thunder-Lightning? in the special satin-lined stables. we also learned that her previous position had been with the New York Symphony Orchestra. Mrs. Bob Fleming arrived in Washington just barely in time as she has been on a worlddwide tour, searching for original models. Her own exclusive fashion show each spring is the envy of such fashion design rs as Hattie Carnegie and Lili Dache. Maureen was very enthusiastic about seeing Alice Hunt and her husband in Trinidad, especially when she was able to convince Alice's husband to take care of the children while they came to Washington. Maureen is going to send Bob to Maine on a vacation so that she and Alice can have a little time to themselves. With Cecilia in the White House they are going to work on a bill to compel all hus- bands to give their wives a thirtyeday vacation every year. Good luck Girls! By the way, remember A1ice's dramatic abilityg we11,the service men in Trinidad have voted her their WPin-Up Girl' every year that she has been there. we have all seen her in the movie, 'The Angel From The Junglen You can imagine our surprise at seeing still another of our class- mates providing entertain entat the Inaugural Ball. This was Joyge Walker whom e had heard called the 'Nightingale from Viennan. The audience were spellbound. Of course we were bursting with pride as she asked the class of 'h9 to take a bow. ..2l4.. Guess where Helen Goebel has been applying her self! A few years after graduation, Walt Disney discovered her artistic ability and wanted her to design some new pictures in his plays and he thinks that someday Helen will surpass him. Of course we all know she will. Ngmgg Chambers seems to be just as lazy as he ever was, loafing on the money his rich Uncle Vanderbilt left him. Having nothing to do bores Norman so just to pass time, he has his own man on the street show. Here he meets all kindsof people fbeautiful women included! which makes his work very exciting. On Norma Jean Smith's arrival we were honored to greet the new Cham- pion Figure Skater. She has taken Sonja Henia's place in the foot lights. Norma has just returned from the Olympic Games in Switzerland where she carried off the first prize of a solid gold trophy. Bonnie Log Vanzant is busy keeping house for Coach Hornbeck, but she found time to come to the inauguration. They are living in the home which Bonnie had dreamed of in all of her high school days. After seeing the pictures of her home that she designed, we were all envious of her ability. Bonnie says, 'Life couldn't be sweeter. Vlgginia Smith arrived still single but very happy and satisfied with life. After she told us about the accumulation of a new seal coat and shining diamonds, she infonned us about where she has been employed. As a head clerk on the seventh floor of Marshall-Fields, she has pros- pered very well but her coat and diamonds came from the gifts Gerry and Glenn are still showering upon her. All in all she is doing greatly, lives a happy life now, and plans to keep on doing so. Qgghgmgg .Qggggy appeared still as cheerful as ever. She has been one of the most glamorous red heads of the Zeigfield Follies. Surely everyone has heard of Lillian Russell. Well, Catherine now takes her place and displays even more greatness. She had many fellows on her , list but so far the lucky one hasn't been chosen, although Katie did catch two brides bouquets in the past week. We feel certain that she will soon be going down the aisle to the tune of the familiarmarch. They al- ways say the third time is the charm. Donaldson has been spending his hours doing clowny acrobatic tricks for the Barnum and Bailey Circus. This wasn't a surprise to any of us for we knew he had this talent back in good old Morrisonville. Larry, intends to keep up his tricks. Verne Mundhenke told us he has been clicking his time away, He enjoys being staff photographer for the Strike magazine. This takes corageous bravery for a photographer has to be invisible on a job like this. He now has the solution as to how to stop all strikes. The solu- tion will be published to the people in the next few months. -25- Deloris Lamb left her five-piece orchestra in Philadelphia, but she had to make a quick trip back for they are featured at the 'Orchid Room' the following night. Deloris is top drummer in the world. Deloris is now Mrs. Howard Jones and we see them quite often traveling from place ,to place in their trailer, leading the Number One Jazz Orchestra in the world. Q .gn Smith keeps very busy taking Enily Post's place writing the How's and Why of Social Life. Her popularity is even greater than that of the former. She also takes her place in encouraging people to be better citizens. Back in the old days we knew that she would take her stand among the social women of America. jgrbgga, Emmy has her own little shop, Clean It All Clean' in Springfield. Barbara never dreamed that while working at mis it was determining her goal in life. She and her family live in a beautiful home in the country. Life has given her much happiness. Qggg- ggchter has made a position for herself in the world. She is designing Carrol Brent Clothes for Metro-Goldwyn Hayor's movie stars. But her real hobby is playing a good game of golf with her favorite beal. Clara still possesses that sweet personality which we all remember her by. Jean Spencer is the big wheel in St. Vincent's Baby Ward in Tay- lorville. When she isn't busy keeping house for her husband, Fred. We need more people in America like Jean with her nursing ability. Fred, you ought to be mighty proud. We are. gg! Young is on her toes at all times trying to put out good home made chop suey for her husband and her popular restaurant, 'Young-Fing . It is located in China Town in Los Angeles, Calif. She had prospered very greatly. Her ability in making Chop Suey surpasses that of the best Chinese women. Best of luck to you, Ann. Hang Kjppm is retired in Florida on the millions made on her new novel How To Catch A Mann. Nancy is still single and from the looks of all, she didn't follow the novel very carefully. Nancy says she is very 'happy single, not having a care or worry in the world. Since this book was published, there no longer are any old maids, outside of Nancy. Ehrery day girls are thanking her. Susie, 53,5113 is gaining fame as the greatest twirler instructor at Harvard University. She thanks Mrs. Martin for her rare ability in twirling. It would take a huge truck to carry all of her Blue Ribbons and Trophies. Susie is still as attractive as ever. We have asked her to lead the parade after the inauguration, and she said, I'd be honored to do it. ..26.. Oh, yes, we must tell you what a sensation Earl Welch made in Wash- ington when he drove up in the famous UK1unkerU. The car is his very own invention and with the millions he will make, Earl plans to tour the world. He told us how disgusted he had been with his Kaiser having to be put in the shop every other day so he has gone ahead with this new type of car. Hot bad! Gracie and her husband Reno have been a famous bowling team since the early 'SOs. Their Bolling Bowl in Minnesota is frequently visited by celebrities and the national tournaments are held there annually. Gracie arrived on the 9:h5 Limited after making arrangements for her husband and her four little pin setters to survive her absence. She has lost none of her enthusiasm and we enjoyed listening to her tell of her adventures. Babe Howard flew in from Paris where she has been making her fortune as one of the glamorous models for those exclusive designs for which Paris is noted. Babe is happily married and has a charming daughter who is al- ready following in her mother's footsteps, modeling children's dresses alongside her mother. If anyone has seen the last issue of the Radio Screen Magazine they would know who the next to arrive was. Wanda 'lilliter fIn d the free time fro all her busy appointments to make the trip. Bill and Wanda have been happily married since 1950 and now their time is fully occupied by being the proud parents of the twin cover girls of this mag- azine. Ad iral Dick Brown had to be just a little different than the rest of the old class. He came cruising in on his private yacht exactly five minutes late. It seems he had a little difficulty with the moto and he hasn't quite mastered the technique of how to handle it yet. Also, he had to get Diane home from her grocery shopping early enough to get his supper. They have been married for three years but still spend time cruising on their free afternoons. Dick thanks his millionaire uncle for the yacht and his retirement. But at last, after all of this,he arrived in one piece, yacht and all. Dick still plays basketball in his free time and has taught many of the young boys in the neighborhood s me good tricks. . Wouldn't you know there would be one member of our class who couldn't come to our reunion! Not much to our surprise, we discovered it was Qing! Frobish - ex-millionaire Hollywood playboy. Thus, we have the reason for his absence. Much to everyone's surprise a Hollywood producer caught him on the sly and signed him to a contract. His time is all taken up now with the production of his new movie, WLord Argon's Missing Shoen. with the money made on this he plans to pay the last year's wages to the house- keepers of his five houses. -27- Someone has been busy writing account text book answers for all stu- dents tald.ng commercial courses. This someone is no other than gmglgg Qggj. He publishes single, double, and triple entries answer books and consequently has become wealthy. He also boasts of his numerous friends- students of course. In his spare time he tells us he still fanns a few acres. ,kg Haggis was the last to arrive as he chugged up the 'long drive . Much to our surprise, he arrived in his faithful old '29, Joe is saving millions from his famous boxing bouts for he is the greatest Champion Heavy-Weight Boxer that Madison Square Gardens has ever witnessed. In 1959 he won the prize of 51,000 for being the strangest-hermit ever known. He lives in a beautiful mansion instead of living in the trunks of trees which was surprising to all. Lgltoz Mcgggey wired from Ireland that his trip would be impossible. I-Ie is a well known Irish Commentator. All stations of importance Join their network and produce a program that reaches America and all of his Irish kin-folks. Much to our surprise, we recognized LeRoy's same old smile above the heads of the crowd. He came after all. The old class was happy to have him with us, once more. As the hours advanced everyone dreaded for the time when they had to journey home. A Joyful day was spent with acquaintance from the old class and all were anticipating another reunion in the future. ..28.. X Jimmy Herzog Vice-Pres. Fred Oller Pres. Bob Fleming Sec.-Treas. 01 .

The first thing was to find our way around the place. Our next step was to have a class meeting, and there we chose Marian Smith, president, Bill Nicol, vice-president, Bob Fleming, secre- tary-treasurerg and Mr. Schmidt, class advisor. Francis Smothers was chosen as cheerleader from the freshman class. We also won a ten-dollar prize for giving the best skit at the senior carnival. In l9h7 we returned numbering forty sophomores. We began the year by having a meeting and elected Bob Clower, president, Lester Curvey, vice-presidentg Joan Engelhart, secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Henrick, class advisor. The year was successful with the help of Mr. Henrick. Bob Clower and Marian Smith represented our class as cheerleaders. Our class was also well represented on the basketball team, sports, band, and even on the honor roll. September, l9h8, came in a hurry when forty-six Wjolly juniorsn hurried eagerly up the steps to start a new year. The junior year is one in which every student is very busy. Well, we started this year as we did any other, by having a class meeting. We chose Bill Spangler, presidentg Juanita Davidson, vice-president, Bob Fleming, secretary-treasurer, and Miss Hewitt, class advisor. On November 3rd, the juniors held their annual class play, HShiny Nosen, which went off with a big bang. It was a lot of hard work but we don't regret it now. Miss Hewitt was the director and Jack Sloan was the assistant director. we juniors are pretty proud of them and the class for putting on such a good play. When the basketball season opened, the junior class was well repre- sented again. In other sports,too, we held our own. Last year we lost one of our best boys, Tom Clavin, who moved to Nokomis, but was replaced with Bruce Kimbro, who did a wonderful job. There were four juniors, two boys and twp girls who were chosen to sell pop at the games during the season. They were: Ramona Bilyeu, Joyce Reynolds, Melvin Rich, and Loren Arkebauer. The big event of the year of course is the junior-senior prom. This year the theme is WThe Forty-Ninersu and Merle Billiter and his orchestra is playing for the dance. we will see you again next year as nsophisticated seniorsn.

We are still plan- ning on a class party sometime in Hay. Our class was well represented on the basketball floor by Lee Skinner who played on both the first and second teams. Darrell Brom, Ernie Loman, Fred Oller, Ernie Sikes, Leroy Yard, and Dean Vorhees, played on the second team, and Allan Curvey was the first member of our class to be a cheerleader.

Freshman Class History When the big doors of M.C.H.S. swung open once again in Sep- tember, in rushed forty-six eager, but shy, very green freshmen. we didn't know the teachers or where any of the rooms were, it didn't take long to learn. we held our first class meeting and elected our officers and advisor who were: Howard Lamb, president, Jim.Herzog, vice-presi- dent, Charlene Attebery, secretary-treasurer, and Ur.

Some of us were lucky enough to make the senior'band and the others are on their way. we all looked forward to the band contest very eagerly. we also did our share in the solo contest. Joyce Wilson's flying fingers got lst, while Winona Wilson and Charlene Attebery came through with 2nd. we sure hope Joyce gets a blue ribbon in State. Our class party was lots of fun, even though the rain did try to spoil it. we went to the Taylorville park for a weiner roast and then to a skating party later in the evening. Big plans have been made for an all-school party to finish out the school year. We will try to live up to the standards of our Alma Mater and do our best to achieve our title of nsilly sophomoresn in h9-SO. Charlene Attebery ..37..

Now here we are in the last 2 minutes of the game. Our mouths are dry, our chests ache, our legs want to give out, and perspiration is in our eyes. What keeps us going on? Drive! Run! Shoot! The score is tied! Now we're ahead one point on a charity shot. The crowd goes wild! Hold that ball! The horn blows and the game is won. It is a feeling that is de- served only by those who play the game. Good Sports. The varsity team made a fine show on the hardwood by winning lh and losing 9. The team is losing only two players through graduation, so be expecting a winning team next year. N-I-'ll--F The B squad made a very good showing this year by winning a first place trophy in the M.S.M. Freshman and Sophomore Conference. We're expecting a lot from these boys in the coming years. The purpose of the second team is to give to those boys, who are Freshmen and Sophomores the needed experience for varsity basketball. They are the subs today and the stars tomorrow.

No record would be complete without mention of track and some of the activities carried on between seasons. Our boys have represented the school very well at track meets this year, bringing home several ribbons. The trampoline also provides for the boys enjoyment as well as ex- ereise. Many of the boys have become very skilled on it and have made public exhibitions for entertainment at the halves of our basketball games ..h7- CAM, ZMJM R R 5 E 1 T S Y E Girls Sports If you were to go to the gym on Tuesday or Thursday afternoon, you would see Miss Breneman teaching her gym class. They might be enjoying a bounce or two on the trampoline, or you may see someone turn a back- flip. Some of the other interesting games which they play are volley ball, dodge ball, pin ball, aerial darts, ping pong, basketball, take hikes, and do calisthenios. One might also inquire if there is any special event in girls sports during the year. Well, there is. It's the inter-class basket- ball toxunament. This year it took place on March 8, 9, and 10. The sophomores and Juniors played for the title, and the juniors won the champeenship . This makes the second victory for the class of '50. Of course you are interested in the number of accidents, but you are informed that the most serious ones have been a sprained foot and a few broken fingernails. Just then the whistle blows and the girls run down to the locker room. Miss Brenenan tells you the rented towel system is being used this year and it is very successful. A towel costs ten cents a week. The bell rings and as the girls scurry to their classes, you bid Miss Breneman good-bye, feeling confident that the girls have enjoyed their year in physical ed.

Band The students filling the red and gray band uniforms this year have had to work harder this time for contest. This is because the school is now in class C and we have stiffer competition. However we have done well-thanks to Hrs. Martin for her untiring effort. Our band has been quite active this year. Ou first event was the annual Christmas concert which was a big success. Hrs Martin, the Janitors, and some of the students worked very hard on the beautiful background of stars and snow covered mou tains. The soloists rode across the pine-decked stage in a sleigh drawn hy two brownies. Early this spring we were very honored when we were asked to play in Taylorville at a program in which Miss Bentley talked against communism. Last summer the band played for the annual Morrisonville pinic. Although we almost suffocated from the heat, we managed to pull through and play. We have played at sereral basketball games, too, while our twirlers, led hy Norma Stahr, did a commendable job. we held two bake sales this year to raise money and we did pretty well on them. we wish to thank everyone who donated food or bought it. We're very pleased with the way our soloists did this year.

F. A. The Morrisonville Chapter of Future Farmers started this year with an enrollment of forty-six members. At the meetings, held on the first Thursday of each month, various problems pertaining to the organization were discussed and voted on by the members. The year's activities started with the officers attending Officers' Training School at Bethany. we had a paper drive which was a success and increased the funds in the treasury. On November 27 and 28 all F. F. A. members that were eligible attended the International Livestock Exposition at Chicago. Everyone that attended had a good time and thought the trip was worth-while. we had a pest control drive that started with the October meeting and ended with the November meeting. We also held a turkey raffle, and because half of the money we took in was used to buy turkeys, we were able to give away five turkeys. We had a joint meeting with the F. H. A. in January. For recreation we danced and we had doughnuts and cokes for refreshments. . In February we started a basketball team and played six games, half of which we lost and half of which we won. On February 2h we had a Father and Son Banquet which everyone enjoyed very much. It was served by the Home Economics girls. I we found another easy way to make money was by selling seeds. we sold seeds by order instead of by the box and found that everyone was better satisfied because they received only the seeds they wanted. On April 23 we took a trip to Purina Mills Research Farm at Gray Summit, Mo. After the tour at the Research Farm, we went to St. Louis and stayed until 9 P. M. Several of the boys stayed in St. Louis to see the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs play Saturday night. In May we had election of officers for l9h9-50. we also had a party for the eighth grade graduates who plan to attend Morrisonville High School next year. The officers for the Chapter in the past year were: president, Glen Myers, vice president, Lester Curvey, secretary, Donald L.

To her goes our sincere thanks. we enjoyed very much our work on the paper, but we leave it to the next class as we go on with other dutiesg and to the succeeding class we say, UDO your bestn.

The three-act comedy, under the capable direction of Kiss Hewitt was wonder- fully portrayed by the cast to the extent that the audience felt the actions they were expressing. . The play takes place in the Marble home in a college town. In the first scene Zip and Hr. and llrs. Marble sit in the living room while Helen and Janey are getting ready for a dance. Helen and Allen have been having difficulties'F so when he calls and says that Madge is going to . the dance with them, she refuses to go. lladge and Allen come, neverthe- lessg and when Helen refuses to go, they leave without her. This angers Helen so when George comes Haney is still up-stairs getting reaql she decides to get George to take her. George is reluctant, but when Helen assures him that Janey won't mind he finally agrees to go. Janey and George had become secretly engaged, therefore when she came downstairs to find George and Helen gone without an explanation, she was heartbroken. Acting on Zip's advice Janey decides to win George back by making him jealous. She includes Allen in the plan as he likes Helen. George was never angry with Janey, but being bashful he had made no move to rec- tify the error made the night of the dance. While this act to create jealousy continues, we return to the rest of the Marble household. Hr. Marble has found out about George and Janey's engagement. He becomes angry and says that Janey is too young for serious romance and should therefore discontinue seeing George. When Mrs. Marble told Janey of Mr. Harb1e's decision, Janey was de- termined to run away from home. This rebellion worried Hrs. Marble but - Mr. Marble was convinced Janey would not leave if she thought no one , minded. These actions created quite a confusion with Zip and Peggy's bright ideas, George quitting the football team, Allen and Helen breaking off their dates, Janery and George quarrelling, Mrs. Marble worrying over Janey's love life, Coach Brown running in to hunt George, lladge scheming for Allen, and midst all the confusion Mr. llarble striving to play chess. But when the curtain came down everyone was happy--Zip and Pegg went happily to a parade, Coach Brown finally succeeded in getting George back on his football team, Helen comes off her high-horse and decides she likes Alleng Janey stays home so Mrs. Marble is happy, lr. Marble agrees to let Janey and George become engagedg and, of course, the audi- ence is pleased with the conclusion. The cast enjoyed putting the play on very much and tried very hard to give their best possible performance for an enjoyable evening. Marian Smith - .55 - The Junior and Senior WCinderella Ball' Prom of 'h8 As the evening of May 20, l9h8, arrived, a great buzz of ex- citement was taking place in the school gymnasium. The Junior class of Morrisonville High School entertained the seniors at the annual banquet and prom on this great evening. The theme of the prom was the WCinderel1a Ball and Banquetn and the decorations were all pertaining to the theme. Invitations on stage coaches were issued. The place cards consisted of a cinderella doll containing the menu, the members of the class, the faculty and the program. Dance programs were also handed out decorated with a wand and stars. The basement was used as the scene of the banquet. A very striking scene of a little stream under a white bridge, surrounded by leafy green trees, caught the eye as the centerpiece. Placed arou d this in an octangular form were the tables for the banquet. After the banquet was concluded, a program was presented. It consisted of: Row Your Boat Now Is The Iear.......Junior Class Baby Face Mai-.anaoooooo ooonick Brown My Buddy.... .....Marcella Howard Joyce Walker Virginia Smith Margaret Spencer Wanda Billiter Memories Jea-1ouSoooooooocooooooBand of the Junior Class Master of Ceremonies..James Frobish Following the banquet and program, dance music was furnished by Louie Corso's Orchestra in the gymnasium. The gym was beautifully decorated with many colored streamers flowing from a ring in the center. Une corner was occupied by a decorated table which held the punch bowl. The opposite corner was enclosed by a white picket fence with flower decorations for the orchestra. The stage decorations were also pertain- ing to the theme. A 'Golden Slippern was the setting for the king and queen's chair. The steps and chairs were covered in gold. - 65 - Each ear the school selects a girl of the Junior class to serve as Queen of the Prom. The 19148 queen was Miss Clara Richter. Because the theme was Cinderella , it was decided to choose a king, which was Louie Carter. Attendants to the queen were Norma Stahr, Wanda Billiter, Joyce Walker, and Margaret Spencer. Ruth Ann Erlg and Kirby Lindsey were the crown bearers. They marched with the line of attendants and the king and queen to the stage with the crowns upon pillows.

It was a delightful combination of pathos and laughter filling an evening with youthful enchantment. Jim Frobish as Eddie Barry, our leading man, played opposite Bonnie Vanzant, who played the part of Ann Sherman, Eddie's ideal. Eddie plans to go away to school and train for radio. He has a wonderful lyric tenor voice and has hopes of someday making the world recognize him as one of the greatest singers ever known to radio. He wants Ann to be proud of him and his wonderful talent, but to him it seems as if his father is the blocking factor on his road to success. My goodness-he's almost eighteen! He should be able to think for him- self, but every member in the family seems to have a hand in determing his fate in life. Uncle George enters a copied essay in an Essay contest and signs Eddie's name to it without him knowing anything about it. This crumbles the foundation under Eddie's feet and the whole world seems to be against him. The professor and a nu ber of the high-society people c me to the Barry home at once to take steps to send Eddie to refonn school. In another instance Mrs. Granville comes to see why Eddie's parents haven't sent him over to apologize to Tommy for blacking his eye when they fought about which one was going to take Ann to the dance. WToo much chaos for one young life,' says Eddie. But every cloud has a silver lining and Eddie's cloud does too. He wins the prize of S250 on his orginal essay, enough to enter him in this special school so he can train to be a radio star. Once again he is assured of Ann's de- voted companionship. Every member of the Senior Class was vivacious in helping to make the play a success. The proceeds were used in helping to make our UCrestW a little better then the years before. Those of us who do not take lessons under her, found that Mrs. Robin- son posesses more patience than it seems possible for one person to hold. we want to thank Mrs. Robinson for her devoted effort, and her very cap- able directorship. we enjoyed play practice very much and we know she enjoyed it too? we have reached the peak of all of our school YEBTS. In our hearts we feel a bit of sadness as we say good-by to good old M.C.H.S. Alice Hunt - 71 - Library Staff Front Row: Louie Carter, Mrs. Robinson, Jim Frobish, Ramona Bilyeu.

Library News The library has had many improvements and changes made in it this year. Several good books were purchased to complete the arrang ent. The Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens and several books by the famous authofeff Jack 0'Brien and Richard Halliburton. Library tables were also put in the Stucbr Hall for the use of the students. Almost any period during the day you can find the library full of students who are doing research work, reading, or just 'loafing' Our supply of books for research work has increased tremendously in the last year. This is very helpful to the students. It helps to make them understand their lessons more thoroughly. We have done away with paying for over-due books. Individual nalle cards are used in checking out books. This is the first year that this adjustment has been used. It is easier to locate the book this way if it is misplaced or lost. Mrs. Robinson has norked very hard after school and during free hours to make the library more beneficial to the students. Barbara Louis served as her helper.
